Drug dog helps sniff out 2 felony arrests; daily incident report

A Boise Police patrol officer witnessed
a vehicle make a left turn from southbound N. Orchard St onto
eastbound Emerald Street without using turn signals, last night at
approx 8:00 p.m.. As the officer followed the vehicle, the officer
witnessed the car moving at speeds in excess of 40 mph in a posted
30 mph zone. The officer stopped the car and identified the
driver as Simitjis. Remco, a Boise Police certified drug detection
canine alerted to the vehicle indicating the likelihood of drugs. A
search of the car revealed a small baggie containing a white
crystalline substance in the center console, which field tested
positive for a total package weight of 1.4 grams of
methamphetamine. The suspect was arrested and booked into the
Ada County Jail on the above charge.

A short time later, Remco was called
back into service. A Boise Police officer on patrol about 9:00 last
night stopped a vehicle near S. 27th Street & W. Fairview Ave
for traveling with no taillights. The suspect, Spratt was a
passenger in the vehicle. Remco again alerted on the vehicle.
Inside the suspect's purse officers found two clear plastic baggies
containing white crystal shards. Spratt was arrested and
transported to the Ada County Jail where she was found to be in
possession of a pipe with residue which she had concealed from
officers inside her clothing. The residue inside the pipe
field tested presumptive positive for methamphetamine as did the
substance inside the two plastic baggies.

A Boise Police officer on patrol near W.
Farivew Ave & Allumbaugh Street about 1:30 this morning stopped
a blue Kia for driving without headlights on. Making contact with
the driver, the officer could smell the odor of an alcoholic
beverage coming from the vehicle. The officer also saw that the
driver's eyes were glassy and bloodshot. The driver did not have a
driver's license but was identified through an Idaho Identification
Card. Johnson failed field sobriety tests. At the Ada County Jail,
Johnson blew a.104/.103. During their investigation, officers also
learned Johnson's driver's license is suspended through March of
2013 due to previous DUI convictions in June of 2006 and March of
2008. Johnson's previous DUI convictions made this mornings DUI a
felony.
